About...Blessed with a
name that accurately describes its temperate weather, the city
of Winter Haven still enjoys one of the most pleasant climates
and communities in central Florida. Long known as a center for
citrus farming in the United States, the city has now
transformed itself into a more tourist-friendly area. In
particular, the world famous, Cypress Gardens are being
converted to the second Lego Land in the U.S and the Orange
Dome, which stood for more almost half a century, will be
replaced with the most modern of hotels, shops and
restaurants.

Winter Haven is now a
must-see stop on the tourist circuit of Central Florida. While
the city offers the best of 21st century amenities, it still
retains many of its old-time charms. In fact, many visitors find
it a refreshing change from some of the more developed resort
areas.

While many would still
describe Winter Haven as a bucolic town of just 30,000
residents, it occupies an excellent location for investigating
the rest of the state. The city prizes its family friendly
atmosphere and its solid pro-business approach. Visit this haven
from winter for the attractions and you might just stay for all
the benefits.
